HP Pavilion dv2 review roundup

We figure the design just to the left of the touchpad is more than enough to convince you to impulse-buy the $750 #-Link-Snipped-#, but just in case you hesitated, the reviews are in and it's not all sunshine for the AMD #-Link-Snipped-#-powered non-netbook. Laptop Magazine notes it handles HD video pretty well, but it suffers from a cramped keyboard, above average heat, and a less than stellar battery life. Instead, they suggest a Samsung #-Link-Snipped-# as a ligher, cheaper alternative. CNET said it got beat performance-wise by Intel Core 2 Duo laptops of comparable price range, and although it bested Atom in most tests, the two processors tied when multitasking. As for PC World, like Laptop, they did give kudos for better graphics performance, but added the caveat that the NC20 and upcoming MSI X-Slim #-Link-Snipped-# would give it a run for its money. For all the nitty-gritty details, browse through the reviews below.
